Happy Wednesday!

Lisa is here today with a splashy card that features our new Mermaid stamp set.

Isn't it pretty???!!!

And here's how she did it!

"To create this card I started by going over a stencil with two different Nuvo Glimmer Pastes. Next, I stamped and heat embossed my Mermaid image with gold embossing powder. I then used Distress ink to give the appearance of water to my background and to my mermaid in Salty Ocean (aptly named, if I do say so myself! lol). I used scissors to cut my mermaid out and propped her up with foam adhesive. I added the same distress ink treatment to my sentiment, and I chose to heat emboss only the bottom half of it for more interest. This was also propped up with foam adhesive. Finally, I added some clear sequins as bubbles, and ta-da!"

Winners, please contact me at info@cas-ualfridaysstamps.com with your mailing address to claim your prize! Prizes not claimed by August 19th will be re-drawn.

And now for today's project from Kimberly using our new Puffy Heart Love stamp set with Holly Jolly Borders and Heartboard Fri-Dies

Oh be still my heart is right! I love that big pretty sentiment paired with inlaid die cut heart in all those pretty colors! Here is what Kimberly said about creating this pretty card:

"I partially stamped the sentiment and then stamped and heat embossed the zig zag border from Holly Jolly Borders around it with glitter embossing powder. I added a rainbow of hearts from the Heart Board Fri-Dies."

You have until 6pm eastern on Sunday to visit each stop on the hop and leave a kind comment for all the designers who have so graciously shared their creativity with us.

Have you seen our Full On Floral background stamp? I had a lot of fun designing it, and it's even more fun to play with! Check out this beautiful card Vicki created using this big floral background...

She embossed it in white over a pretty inked background, then stamped the big pretty sentiment over it in black. But wait there's more!

She created a super fun pocket of pearls and sequins! This is one cool project and you're going to want to head over to Vicki's blog and get the deets on how she did this AND I'm pretty sure she's got a special savings code for you too!

Yesterday we introduced you to Flower-case, our first ever Alphabet set! If you're just joining in the fun, you'll want to be sure and double back to yesterday's post to see all the wonderful creations and get your chance to win that set!

Today I've got a set that was sooo much fun to create! I spend a great deal of time and money searching for and securing licensing to the fonts I use in my sets. So when I accidentally stumbled upon these delightful ballerina silhouettes, I knew I had to have them because I just had to dress them up in my own unique way...with my flowers! I also knew the exact sentiments I wanted to include and had the perfect whimsical font in mind.

Introducing...Tutu!

Tutu is a 4 x 6 set that will delight your inner ballerina! It retails for $15 and will be available Friday.
